What Attitudes/occurrences Put You Off The Most In A Wedding Ceremony? by chiteny(m): 7:33am On Nov 24, 2013
I had to make this thread as i was vexed in a wedding ceremony i attended yesterday. I think most of you must have had some unpleasant experience too.

Now the story.

I was invited for a wedding at a certain place and the timing was for 10:00am prompt, as boldly written in the wedding invitation card. So off i went to grace the occasion promptly but i encountered my first scenario that vexed me. For a moment i thought i was the groom (who i assumed should be the most eager to come early on his day). The church was almost empty. No Bride, No groom, No Pastor, some members of the choir and a less than ten invitees. >:(

Ok na. I don come be say i don come. So i chose a chair and sat down, believing the event will start very shortly. But it started 1hr 30min later. Then i started to wonder when we will be done with church and attend the reception. undecided

So no sweat. Event started. Groom walked to his seat in front (i was thinking there would be some marching in song or hymn. And i cant remember any opening prayers being said, just some lovely music played from a CD at the background). Next the young pastor came to the pulpit, requested all to stand for the bride to come in and the choir to sing some songs (why is this always the case, can't we stand up for the groom too?).

Here comes the bride, all well dressed, painted (face, hair and nails) to look her best on her day and........ chewing her cud?? undecided Really?!! And she was chewing it so ferociously, angrily and helplessly as she danced to the alter for the joining. She wasn't the only one chewing the cud...the chief bridesmaid was also infected with the helpless situation. I was put off and was even more vexed when this continued unabated through out the joining process till "you may kiss the bride". angry angry

Next was pictures, pictures, pictures and the reception which was another story all together.

So enough of my gossip. I would like to hear from you guys your own experiences. Wow, i no know say this story long like this.....and i tried to skip some things..........smiley

Well,i dont have issues with the way a bride or groom choose to comport themselves on their wedding,its their day,they can do WHATEVER THEY LIKE.however i have problems with the way some nigerians behave in wedding receptions.male or female,bridal ladies n grooms men,invitees etc.you will see some people fighting for jollof rice and chicken as if the reception is a restaurant,fighting for cheap souvenirs like plastic bowls,handkerchiefs,plastic fans etc.some cussing at each other,miscreants painting their bodies and comming to beg in an harassing way,guest especially women bringing polybag to pack food home,women leaving their kids anyhow to behave unruly,etc.


Anyway all that has come to an end years ago because i choose the kinds of weddings i go for.i dont just go to any kind of wedding when i am invited

Its a wedding, a public function so I go with the sole purpose of having fun and laughing. If at any point you can't endure others "idea of fun/table manners/whatever else" ,get up and leave. The party won't miss you,I guess.

I hate when some people are eating, drinking,having left overs,having food to take home & others are busy swallowing their saliva. If u cant cater for all the guests, let the wedding be 'strictly on invitation' or u hire bouncers.

These types of threads are too common on nl. "What do you hate about this", "what do you hate about that", "what did someone do that vexed you", "come and hate", blah blah etc etc.

Op and co, you could have just quietly left the venue if you were offended by anything you saw there.

Were you forced to stay?

Bad belle people.
